Grey cladding

[PK]

Bssage, there is another question often discussed on here, that you may have a specialist opinion on.

Is our actual cladding, a dark grey colour, or a light black????

I am feeling like I am getting all techie just to try and make myself sound smart.

Color is a perception. The shades between black and grey are probably not the same for you and I. And they vary greatly with distance angle and light. You can get your color vision certified and work in the Auto industry comparing colors. But most of the time in a manufacturing setting a computer is used. Like at the paint store.

Since I have never seen one of these new IDK. The easy way to tell is cut a sliver off the cladding in look at the inside of the profile. Or simply make a slice in a inconspicuous area and check it the way you would check a steak to see if its cooked.

What about a chart Kat?? Anybody on the site have time for that?

Ya mean like this! :mado:
It's what my fab shop did to my cladding when fabbing and installing my custom tail light guards! ....sanded or gouged the crap out of it and never even mentioned it to me
So, now we know Showroom New dye doesn't penetrate all the way down in the cladding BUT...I touched it up with my leftover dye and it looks fine.

I am going to throw my 2 cents in about the color of the cladding. I have an Astral and I am finishing up a repair to the front cladding. Since I have "paint" the area that I fixed, I bought some Bumper Coating, it is from Duplicolor, I think. It has different shades, I got the Dark Charcoal and it is an almost perfect match. But other cladding that I have seen is more black.
